Product Information

And then there’s the newer GPD Win Max 2, a powerful 10-inch mini laptop dubbed a “handheld gaming PC”. I did install Steam to try some titles, including Team Fortress 2 (pictured). Most worked well enough for my needs (i’m not much of a modern gamer, as I explained in my primer on Feral GameMode) but be aware that has integrated graphics and (despite the aforementioned tweaks) a low-power CPU.

Most of them cater to those of you on limited budgets, those looking for devices for primarily tablet use, or those looking for secondary travel notebooks or inexpensive notebooks for your kids. The options for high-end 11 and 10-inchers are limited nowadays when most OEMs have migrated their higher-tier options towards the 12-inch and 13-inch classes, which offer an increased screen area and more space inside for components and battery cells, as well as a multitude of modern features that you won’t get on these smaller computers. By the early 2000s, everyday use of the expression "microcomputer" (and in particular "micro") declined significantly from its peak in the mid-1980s. [7] The term is most commonly associated with the most popular all-in-one 8-bit home computers (such as the Apple II, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, BBC Micro, and TRS-80) and small-business CP/M-based microcomputers. There’s no built-in webcam on this thing (which, honestly, is a plus) and the tinny, hollow sounding speaker on this thing (which is only mono in Ubuntu MATE for reasons) won’t wow anyone.

If i was going to be playing games which rely on precision movement then, yeh., a mouse makes sense. But for mousing about the MATE desktop to interact with Linux apps it’s perfectly decent as it is.

For instance, it enables modesetting and xorg-video-intel display drivers, TearFree rendering, and scroll wheel emulation in Xorg.
